Cheap Television Sets New System Developed Promises Sets At Low Cost A new system invented by Mr. R. W. Hughes, of Plymouth, England, may result soon in the production of cheap television sets for all. Mr. Hughes said he thought a tele- vision receiver, built with light source and amplifier, could be mass produced to sell at £10 of less. With his somewhat crudely-con- structed apparatus, Mr. Hughes is able to project a 100-line picture on a screen two feet square, A system of vibrating mirrors causes a small but instant spot of light to travel over the screen and form the images. . Mr. Hughes is also developing an apparatus which, he claims, over- comes the problem of synchronizing —one of the chief difficulties of tele- vision—and also holds the picture steady for considerable periods. Firms in this country as well as in Germany and the United States have been interested ig the invention, and, it is said, that cessful nego- tiations have been concluded with a British company. Mr. Hughes has been working for nearly two years on his new ap- paratus and has built a special trans- mitter to test his receiving apparatus at any time. Must Be Improved Canada Must Raise Better Hogs To Capture Market The Canadian farmer lost $12,000,- 000 in 1933 by reason of the fact Danish hogs were better than Cana- dian hogs, J. S.

And if it fs done, he will reap the entire benefit.” The “certain lack of confidence” existing between the farmer and the packer was due chiefly to the farmer.

The) author, a well-known handwriting expert, has an interesting announce- ment to make following this article.) There is always something thrill- ing in the mysterious. For thousands of years, people have pail money to fortune-tellers in return for a glimpse —sometimes accurate, if flashy; and sometimes, amazingly prophetical— of the Future. Down through the ages, people have yearned for an op- portunity of tearing aside the veil hiding To-morrow from To-day. There will always be a thrill of the mystical or occult in these foresee- ings of the Future.

The pirates boldly commandeered the British steamer Shuntien and kid- napped six British subjects and 18 Chinese. The pirates were frightened into freeing their captives and lost most of the loot they unloaded from the steamer. But the pay-off” is that they have been taken into the Shantung provincial army. ~ “They were sincere in their desire to surrender and become soldiers,” explained Han Fu-Chu, governor of the province, who consented to make the pirates part of his army. A “sweeping search” for the kid- mappers was ordered when both Great Britain and the United States became aroused. Becoming Good Customer Bahama Islands Are Taking More Goods From Canada The Bahamas have become one of Canada’s best customers, imports from the Dominion now ranking first place. The total value of goods bought from Canada is $1,305,790, an increase of 5.5 per cent. over the previous year. Practically all the potatoes used there come from Can- ada. Canada is also the chief sup- plier of butter, flour, oats, condensed milk, rubber and canvas boots and shoes.

Robert Saudek, the famous Euro- pean crytologist, says: “There is no such thing as handwriting, but only brainwriting.” This is because the impulse and motive power come from the brain. Writing is no mere mus- cular act. If you think it is, try to write a letter whilst reading a book! The Physicians’ Times Magazine some time ago made the statement that “the nerves at the extreme fin- ger-tips are extraordinarily sensitive, and traces of grey matter, similar to that in the brain, may be found.” Throughout the world, Grapho-An- alysis is gaining recognition as a practical science. In a number of and Ll the subject is being studied as a reg- ular part of the curriculum. In the everyday affairs of life it is finding increasing application. Business men, teachers and doctors are using it to supplement their own specialized knowledge. Indeed, many of the largest commercial undertak- ings in the world submit to grapho- analysts the handwriting of appli- cants for important positions; it is being used more and more frequently in criminal and civil courts, and even lovers, hesitating before stepping off the brink of matrimony, consult a Grapho-Analyst for an analysis of the handwriting of their intended bride or bridegroom. Do you want a personal analysis of your handwriting? Do you want to know what your friend's handwriting tells? A character analysis may open the doors of opportunity to you, and certainly, it will astonish you with its revelations of character and talents.
